Our facilities

Ō Tātou Whare

AgResearch’s four locations, spread across Aotearoa New Zealand, are designed to balance our national and regional science priorities as well as make the most of opportunities to co-locate with our research partners.

Designed for the future

Most of our scientists are located at four campuses in Palmerston North, Lincoln, Hamilton and Mosgiel.

Our joint food science facility is located at Massey University, near our Grasslands campus in Palmerston North. Opened in 2020, the facility is shared with our Riddet Institute and Food HQ partners Massey University, Plant and Food Research and Fonterra. It features new science laboratories, modern working spaces, meeting rooms and shared areas was designed with significant input from AgResearch people to ensure they are fit for purpose now and into the future.

Our newest facility is Tuhiraki, built on independently owned land at the Lincoln University campus. It captures all the same co-location benefits as the joint science facility in Palmerston North, with a land-based science focus. Tuhiraki opened in September 2023. All our science facilities provide the skilled staff and resources for a more effective and collaborative approach to tackling regional, national and international science issues.

AgResearch farms

AgResearch owns a number of farms across New Zealand that we utilise for research as well as science and technology projects for the benefit of the agricultural sector and the country.
